I got Monster Hunter: Wilds finally, but surprisingly, I have not dropped a lot of time into it despite playing the franchise since the first, with usually 100-250 hours spent on any given title I purchased in the series. TBF, my PS5 controller is in a terrible state right now, forcing me to use K&M, which is genuinely surprising to me that they added support for it in the PS5 to begin with. As far as I know, that is very rare. And while I’m no stranger to K&M, I’ve never used it for Monster Hunter and I just don’t dig it much.
I’d actually have to give my personal GOTY to a game that’s not at all new. I’ve eyed Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous for some time, even though I don’t think I’ve played a traditional CRPG since Planescape: Torment (granted not in 1999, I bought it thru GOG, so it had to be sometime after 2008.) And despite it being a CRPG and me knowing that, I played it via Playstation+ on PS5… with my controller, which still had stick drift at the time but not as bad. I sunk between 200-250 hours into it and I still have not beat the damn thing. I kept remaking my party as I grew more familiar with the game’s system. My last and favorite being subclassing all my regulars to have dinosaur pets. Game went on sale for like 6 or 7 bucks a little while ago so I just went ahead and bought it permanently. I’m sure I’ll revisit it again just like I do Elder Scrolls and Borderlands franchises.
I’m exactly the same. Dark Souls 1 & 3, Elden Ring, Sekiro, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Hitman probably make up >95% of my playtime in recent years. I just replay them over and over again. I’ll occasionally replay other games I used to play one time, but I very rarely will try out a new game, and if I do I almost always default back to one of my staples after a couple hours.
That other comment talking about it due to exhaustion is definitely the reason for me I think. The last ~2.5 years I’ve had a lot more responsibilities at work, and now I’ve got a baby at home, so on the rare occasion I actually have energy to play a game, it’s gonna be something I know I’ll have fun with. It’s going to be even worse soon I suspect due to work. I applied for a manager job and feel pretty confident I’m gonna get it, but of course that means I’ll likely have even less energy after work to play games. Oh well. Such is life.
